    Module 4: Putting it all together
    The last video!

    For the majority of this module, your 10 hours of class will be dedicated to you putting together your final paper. HURRAY! The time has come. But first... let's talk about the conclusion paragraph.

    You conclusion must accomplish 3 things: 

    • Remind readers of the thesis 
    • Synthesize your claims
    • Provoke your reader to think beyond the thesis


    The conclusion paragraph is usually shorter than the other paragraphs. And, if you can, connect the last sentence to your hook (remember the hook from the introduction paragraph?).

    ----------

    To receive full credit for this module, you must complete the conclusion activity, upload your conclusion draft, upload your complete essay, and contribute to the Module 4 Forum.

    If you see a green check markat the right, you have successfully completed the task. Once there are 4 , you have completed everything necessary in Module 4.

    AND! If you have completed everything in Module 4, you have completed the whole program! Congratulations!
